She could have tried but she didn't have timeShe had a five year old to feed she had ballet classes piano lessons and t ball little league
She could've laid awake for hours given lonely nights nights the power
But she didn't have time
Brooke signed Heidi up for ballet and when Nathan heard about that he told Brooke that there was no way she was only doing ballet so he took her and signed her up for T ball.
"Nathan why do you want her in little league so bad?" Asked Brooke amused that Nathan was telling her to sign Heidi up for sports.
"Because that way she
will learn what it is to be friends with many people and ballet is
too disciplined for a five year old she needs to be able to let
loose."
"Fine, Nathan you win. She can play little league if
you do me a favor." Said Brooke.
"Sure, what?"
"Her ballet class is at 4 on Tuesdays can you find time in your busy schedule to drop her off and I'll pick her up after please?"
"Of course." Said Nathan.
Brooke was happy the Heidi had a good male figure in her life and Nathan was happy to be that for her.
It was Saturday morning and Brooke brought Heidi to little league, she always thought that the coaches had patience of steel to deal with 15 5 year olds at once. One thing she noticed while at the games and practices there were a lot of single parents there and this one guy kept trying to ask her out. And she had to keep coming up with excuses not to go out with him.
"Hey Brooke."
"Hi Jake, what's up?"
"Nothing, so how have you been since the last game?"
"Good, you know work and Heidi keep me pretty busy." Said Brooke knowing in about 2 minutes Jake would ask her out.
"That's good, Heidi's a great kid. Her and Jenny seem to get along really well." Said Jake.
"Yeah they do." Said Brooke.
"So how about we get sitters tonight and go out to dinner?"
"Jake you ask me out every week."
"And every week you shoot me down." Said Jake.
"Have you ever wondered why?"
"Yeah, kind of."
"Jake you're a great guy and from what I can see a great father but our kids are friends and if it didn't work out between us it would only hurt the girls, I can't date the fathers of my child's friends."
"What if I said it wouldn't effect the girls." Said Jake.
"I'd still turn you down, I'm just not into dating right now. I want to concentrate on Heidi."
"I understand that I want to concentrate on Jenny, but that doesn't mean I can't date anyone."
"Jake, like I said you're a great guy but I'm not gonna date you."
"Fine I totally get it, so what else do you guys do besides little league?" Asked Jake knowing where Brooke was coming from.
"Well we do ballet on Tuesdays and then 3 nights a week my friend Haley teaches her piano."
"Wow, but don't you work late?"
"I only work until 4:30, but Haley's husband Nate takes her to ballet and then I go and meet him when I get off work. He complains about being the only guy doing drop off at ballet but I think he secretly likes doing it, that and he'd do anything for Heidi."
"So not to be mean or any thing where is Heidi's father?" Asked Jake noticing that there was never a guy with Brooke unless it was one of her friends.
"Don't know we broke up when Heidi was about six months and I haven't seen or heard from him since. He didn't want to be a father but he didn't tell me that until I was pregnant with her." Said Brooke.
"Wow, well look at the bright side maybe our ex's fell into the black hole that is specially reserved for the parents that abandon their children." Said Jake.
"That's wishful thinking." Said Brooke laughing at Jake's comment and the fact that one of the kids hit the ball and ran directly to 3rd base.
"I think they got their directions mixed up again."
"Happens every game, you'd think by now they would put up signs with the bases written them."
"They probably would if it would do any good, considering they're 5 and most of them probably can't read." Said Brooke as she took a sip of her coffee.
